If *you* attempted this, you'd be stopped pretty quickly. People would realize you somehow borrowed $100,000 of money using only $10 and go "woah that's fishy, nope."
If a lotto winner attempted this, well they have no idea who the right guys to talk to are.

A normal person would see a big chunk of money and think about what they could get with it. The goods and services they can exchange.
Perhaps, they'll wonder if there's a way to make that money grow over time at a good rate.
They probably *won't* think to immediately light it on fire.

All the R2's sounds are in the SFX track of the movie, not the dialog track, so it never gets affected by dubs. Same with Chewbacca.

we don't see every network participant needing to store a full mirror of the entire network, any more than every web browser needs a full search index of the entire web.
the goal is to have enough infra diversity to have alternatives and credible exit.

hrm! that Linode number is quite a bit more expensive than the couple hundred/month that both Alice and I found.
even linode block storage (expensive!) seems to be on the order of $512/month for 5TB?
current relay impl stores most data as files-on-disk; postgresql is an index

NYC reaches built and residential densities rarely found in Europe. Only Spanish cities and Paris can really compete (and even then, not at the very highest end of NYC density).

An interesting part of this is that the original D rations had to be heat-resistant up to 49C.
Later, they developed a "congo bar" that could withstand 60C, closer to the ambient temperature inside military vehicles in the middle east.
